Hej :) I have cycled through Scandinavia and fell in love with scandinavia, I am planing on moving to Scandinavia but I can not decide on which country. Actually i was Planung to move to Sweden and also speak A2 level Swedish but the government is more on the right wing side.
I am F. early 20 asian looking human rights activist deeply believe in a cosmopolitan system, democracy, care a lot about the lgbtq+ community and dislike „Asian“ style parenting and that family hierarchy stuff.
I am afraid of racism and disacceptance for me as a human being.
As German, people here can be quite racist, Germans never saw me as German, often ask me where I „really“ from, kids on the street do Asian eye gesture… even my friends often ask me about Asian country and culture related stuff. I have just as much knowledge as most of the Germans do. Why is that different?
So which of these two countries might suit me better? Or maybe none of them?
I offer: skiing skills, alpine climb experience, love for licorice, dried fish and BUTTER. Out going, activism for human rights, love big dogs, MBA in mathematics, ironman distance Triathlet, lifeguard license, bad dad jokes! a living 4 year old sourdough starter! I can make 11 different German breads. Please take me Scandinavia 😅

jqqu7ahUnless you want to live in Stockholm, gothenburg or malmo, the gang issues will not impact your life here (and as someone living in one of those it likely wouldn't anyway).
If you want to live "in the north" and find fellow sourdough-people, I think Umeå(also a University town) is your best bet in all of the nordics. Also a pretty vibrant labour market for white collar workers (with the accompanying "high" home prices).
Yes, Norway is "run better", but as someone who's worked for a norwegian company and spent time in the country, I would not want to live or work there permanently. I think, particularly for someone coming from Germany, Norway(outside of Oslo) may just be too "small town" for you...

jqr72hoHi Grazie, thank you so much for your insights. And thank you for reading thoroughly my description. You might be right about the too small part. The size of Umeå would not considered in Germany as a city more like a „village“. Of course we got 8 times the people you do. There is plenty of time left, before in leave Germans and moving to Scandinavia i want to reach B2 level of norsk or svensk. So still one years time to decide :)

jqrvkhmDamn, 100k isn't a city?

jqrxplaOmg so sorry! I was reading like 10k. Because to considered something as a city the city must at least contain 25-50k (depend on the region) active citizens. So ya in this case. Sorry for my mistake Umeå is definitely considered as a city here in Germany.

jqryvs5Hahah no worries. Here I would say like 15-25k is a city
